Cabinets are a defining feature in your kitchen or bathroom—they anchor the space, influence the overall design, and take more daily wear than nearly any other surface. So when it’s time for a refresh, many homeowners in West Metro Atlanta face the same question:
Should you paint your cabinets yourself, or call in a professional?
Sure, the DIY route can seem tempting. A few paint cans, a free weekend, and a couple of YouTube videos later—what could go wrong? Actually… quite a bit. Cabinet painting is one of the most detail-oriented, labor-intensive painting jobs there is—and when you factor in the humidity, heat, and seasonal swings we get in Georgia, the results of a DIY job can quickly fall short.
Let’s break down the real differences between DIY and professional cabinet painting—and why working with That 1 Painter West Metro Atlanta is an investment in quality, durability, and peace of mind.
Painting cabinets is nothing like painting walls. It’s a precision craft that demands time, technique, and the right tools. Skip a step, and the flaws will show fast—especially in high-use areas like your kitchen.
